Another fascinating book for junior high readers. Following in the footsteps of early explorers, we look at interesting features of our globe such as wind, currents in the sea, the tides, earth’s magnetic field, rocks, glaciers, and river systems. Later we move to the atmosphere and exploration by hot air balloon, airplanes and space vehicles. Thought provoking questions at the end of each chapter make this book suitable for geography and social studies (history).

This book combines interesting accounts of chemists’ lives with discussion of their discoveries including atomic theory and the table of elements. The logic of organic chemistry is also demonstrated and some modern industrial applications of chemistry are touched upon. Questions conclude each chapter.

A wonderful book, written for junior high. The author takes the reader on a tour of the earth’s crust, pointing out both the natural beauty and scientific evidences for creation. A definite must for students studying earth science.

The reader enjoys second hand the real life experiences of five men who journeyed to the Liscombe Dinosaur Bone Bed on Alaska’s north shore. The account, partly travelogue, and partly devotional, describes how the men found both fossilized and un-fossilized duckbill dinosaur bones.

Refuting Alleged Bible Contradictions
A favourite tactic of Bible critics is to claim that there are errors and contradictions in Scripture. Dr. Lisle of Institute for Creation Research provides answers for 420 such claims. He also indicates the kind of fallacy each critical attack involves. A very handy reference!!

Filled with beautiful colour images and graphs, this book demonstrates how the features of the moon are not only interesting, but they testify to the moon’s recent creation.

Richly illustrated, this book introduces junior high readers to normal and extreme weather systems, and events of the past such as the worldwide flood of Noah. Interesting and useful for today’s young weather observers.

Contrary to the evolutionary view that predicts sloppy design in nature, engineers are finding amazing natural design solutions for many of our technological problems. With a resume that includes designing machines for industry, medicine and space exploration, Drs. Burgess and Statham share some interesting insights into the design process.

Discover this collection of amazing creatures that illustrate the enormous variety of God’s
creation. The selection includes some popular animals such as pandas, koala, elephant, giraffe,
camel and penguins as well as some totally weird creatures. Explore the details concerning
each creature as well as the serious problems each presents for evolution theory.

Read a review of this book.

The author describes his six-month tour of duty in the International Space Station in 2006. We learn the
story of Expedition 13 from his perspective as flight engineer. The pictures which he took from the ISS
give us a front row seat on the view below. Enjoy his interesting text and numerous pictures of specific locations on Earth. In this context, Col Williams declares that space itself demonstrates the greatness
and power of God.

When you visit this museum, be sure to go armed with this booklet. It highlights interesting details and fascinating insights concerning the displays in the museum. All commentary in the booklet is from a creation-based perspective. The booklet comes with a map of major dinosaur exhibits and links to further discussion online of some topics like the geological column.

Shipping cost for one copy is only $2.

An entirely new feature is the use of the HeadStart online resource to provide more detailed discussion of some related and important issues such as origin of life arguments, and evolution related topics like the geological column, rock record, fossils (what are they?), Cambrian explosion, extinct Alberta creatures (mostly marine reptiles) and dinosaurs (a separate topic).

Naturally one can only absorb limited amounts of information as one proceeds through the museum. However, the guide also serves as a briefing source of further insights once one has left Drumheller.

In this recent book, written for the concerned Christian, Dr. Wilson seeks to discuss how God’s world works, our place in it, and how to assume leadership and dominion in the world. Written in friendly persuasive fashion, this book is enjoyable and inspirational.

This title is in a new series of small books from ICR entitled Creation Collection. Written at the introductory level, this book not only discusses supposed fossil evidence concerning human ancestors, but also that our DNA differs significantly from apes, is not “junk”, and that human chromosome #2 never came from apes. 

Discovering God’s Underwater Wonders

When you visit an aquarium, what might you see? Where did this variety of life come from? Evolution says a single-cell organism developed into marine invertebrates, then vertebrates, then life that crawled out on land, and eventually—us! But the evidence tells a different story. The fossil record shows no transitions from water to land. Join ICR scientists as they explore the wonders of God’s underwater world.
